First Year Dinner

The First Year Dinner is a great opportunity for first year students to meet each other and to have any questions you may have about university answered by older students. The Dinner will also be attended by ECON1010 Lecturer James Laurenceson who is happy to answer any questions you may have about studying economics. 

In addition to getting a delicious Pizza Cafe pizza, everyone who attends the Dinner will also be given a copy of our First Year Guide, which contains heaps of advice for getting the most out of your time at university.
